Its been a 'rainbowy' kinda year hasn't it? And to that end I just cannot help myself crocheting and designing in lush rainbow brights, they just cheer me up so much!
So the latest design is these quick and easy little rainbow bookmarks. Or are they shooting stars??
Hook one for your self for all the copius reading we have done during lockdown!
Or they would make fab Christmas Stocking fillers as we finally close the door on 2020!

MAKING UP
Using the picture as a guide, sew the stars onto the top of the bookmark.
TASSELS
Cut a 10 cm length of each colour and attach to the bottom of the bookmark to its corresponding colour.
To make tassels, hold length of yarn in the centre, insert hook from front to back, hook around the
centre of the yarn length, pull through so you have a loop on the hook and then
bring the tails of the length of yarn from the back, under the ring and through
the loop, pull to secure.

Hello, I am making this bookmark and finding you have double crochet. I thought this Wii be huge! the pattern picture shows single crochet, are your directions misprinted?
ReplyDeleteHiya, thanks for your comment. No my directions aren't misprinted, my pattern is in UK terminology, so double crochet stitch is equivalent to a single crochet stitch in US terminology.
Deleteso cute.
